Initial Analysis - THe drop-outs are not because of academic standards expected of students being high - but because of other reasons.
A. Top-rated business schools have relaxed the conditions of admissions substantially in the recent past.
REJECTED: This option, if at all, strengthens the conclusion. If the conditions of admissions are relaxed, then academically weaker students could get in.
These students might drop out if they are not able to cope.
B.The percentage of students from these schools into top notch positions in the corporate sector has shown a downward trend.
REJECTED: If there is an increas in the number of seats/admissions to these schools, but the number of students getting into top-notch positions remins the same, then it will count as a decrease in %.
C. Many corporates are of late showing great interest in drawing students of top rated business schools to work even before they complete their graduation.
RIGHT ANWER: This option gives an alternate explanation to the drop-out, while allowing the posibility of the students not being deterred by the high academic expectations from the B-Schools.
D. The academic standards in not-so-well-reputed business schools have also increased considerably in recent years
REJECTED: Increased academic standards in not-so-well-reputed business schools have NO BEARING on drop-outs from Top B-Schools.
E. Dropouts from schools generally tend to become billionaires.
REJECTED : 'schools' coud include bottom-rated schools or elementary schools too.
Top-Rated B-Schools are bing discussed.
